All on schedule & proceeding smoothly

Just a quick update to say that almost all the hard tooling has now been signed off and Piers is travelling out to China at the end of this week to oversee production and assembly from start to finish at Foxconn.

Five minutes posting a few words once a week as an update to inform 9,800 backers about what is happening with the ~$400K they allowed the project creator to use seems to be far too much a burden I guess.

I received mine, not remember the date but was the first lot, the silver portion "broke" on the first usage, I was able to "repair it" using super glue, but now I still face the "read-only" problem, it does not matter how I put the card or move it, still get the same error. Is there any replacement program?

thats great to hear. Can you please make sure i get my two drives i ordered? I have yet to receive batch #1 or #2. Please make sure i get this one. Im trying to be optimistic here. So dont crush it for me Piers/Steve.

My computer won't recognize my minidrive at all. Because I have an address issue (I'm traveling between the UK and US right now), I tried to use the contact@niftydrives.com address to read you, but my mail bounced because your mailbox is full. What's the best way to deal with this?
